HAMILTON, N.Y. - The No. 13 Quinnipiac University men's ice hockey
team remained perfect in ECAC Hockey play with a 5-3 win against
Colgate University at Starr Rink in Ithaca, N.Y. The Bobcats are a
perfect 5-0-0 in ECAC Hockey action and 9-1-0 overall, including
five consecutive wins. Colgate drops to 5-3-4 overall while they
take their first league loss of the year to go to 3-1-1.

Brandon Wong (Victoria, B.C.) had a goal and two assists to lead
Quinnipiac while Jeremy Langlois (Tempe, Ariz.) had his first
multiple-goal game of his career. Zach Hansen (White Bear Lake,
Minn.) had a pair of assists while Quinnipiac freshman Eric
Hartzell (White Bear Lake, Minn.) stopped 27 of 30 shots in net,
while also assisting on a goal.

"We're playing hard right now," head coach Rand Pecknold said. "We
had some injuries to overcome in this game, and had to shorten our
bench, but we did a great job of that and battled. We're skating
hard and playing very well right now."

Wong scored his fifth goal of the season on a power play just over
eight minutes into the game. After Colgate's David McIntyre took a
slashing penalty, Quinnipiac had the man-advantage. After winning
the face-off, Bobcats freshman Zach Davies (Smithers, B.C.) handled
the puck at the point. As Wong slid to the left of Raiders' goalie
Charles Long, Davies handed the puck off to Zach Hansen (White Bear
Lake, Minn.) above the right face-off circle. Hansen sent a pass to
Wong, who re-directed the puck past Long to give Quinnipiac a 1-0
lead early in the game.

The goal was Wong's 54th of his career, moving him past
Bryan Leitch '09 into seventh place in Quinnipiac's Division I
history. Hansen's assist gives him a point in three consecutive
games.

Colgate's Brian Day tied the game just under four minutes into the
second period. Seconds after Quinnipiac successfully filled a
hooking penalty, Austin Smith took control of the puck in the
neutral zone before passing across ice to McIntyre. McIntyre then
hooked up Day, the right wing, driving the net. Day faked a shot,
skated behind the net and banked a shot off Quinnipiac goalie Eric
Hartzell's (White Bear Lake, Minn.) skate to tie the game. Smith
and McIntyre were credited with assists on the play.

The Bobcats responded with three unanswered in the period, one by
Jean-Marc Beaudoin (St. Paul, Alb.) and a pair by freshman Jeremy
Langlois (Tempe, Ariz.), giving the first-year forward his first
career multiple-goal game.

Beaudoin gave Quinnipiac the lead with his third of the year. After
a Colgate rush on Quinnipiac's goal, Hartzell handled the puck and
sent it up-ice to Beaudoin. Beaudoin picked the puck up in front of
the Quinnipiac bench and streak to the net. His wrist-shot from in
front of the goal beat Long under his blocker to put the Bobcats
back on top, 2-1.

Langlois scored less than two minutes later. Mike Glaicar
(Kamloops, B.C.) handled the puck at the point and sent a pass
wrapping around the boards to Wong behind the Colgate net. Wong
spied Langlois in front of the net, who put a one-timer on goal
that beat Long stick-side to give Quinnipiac a two-goal lead.
Langlois' second goal came on the Bobcats' power-play off a
rebound. Hansen sent a pass to Greg Holt (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.) at the
point. Holt blasted a shot through traffic that found Long's chest
and bounced out in front in the crease. Langlois dropped to the ice
and poked it between Long's pads to put Quinnipiac on top, 4-1.
Zurevinski has now tallied a point in eight consecutive games, the
longest active scoring streak in the Bobcats' line-up. Quinnipiac
took a 4-1 lead into the second intermission.

Colgate opened the third period with a pair of goals to cut
Quinnipiac's three-goal lead to one. Five minutes into the third
period, Day scored his second goal of the game to cut into
Quinnipiac's lead Day was set-up on the play by Jeremy Price and
Wade Poplawski. Austin Smith added another goal less than three
minutes later on assists by Kevin McNamara and McIntyre, who picked
up his second point of the day, as Colgate moved within a goal,
4-3, with just over 10 minutes to play in the game.

Yuri Bouharevich (Montreal, Que.) added an insurance goal late in
the period to seal the 5-3 win. Wong dug the puck out the corner
and dished it back to Bouharevich who streak behind the net and
beat Long with a wrap-around.

Saturday, Nov. 21 when it travels to Ithaca, N.Y. to take on No. 5
